Meal supplements and extra drinks increase the total. French cuisine\n\nThe decoration at Café de la Paix belongs to the same grand Parisian world as the opera house opposite. A listed interior in the Napoleon III style, it gives a meal here a strong architectural setting: elaborate ceilings, ornament and formal tables within the InterContinental Paris Le Grand.\n\n#### A restaurant and café opposite Garnier\n\nThe restaurant has its own identity within the hotel. French gastronomy is the kitchen's direction, with chef Laurent André associated with its current culinary offer. The setting can carry a substantial lunch or dinner, while the café side provides a shorter way to spend time at the address. The restaurant room and the café room are therefore different choices within the same institution.\n\nThat distinction is useful because the visual appeal can otherwise dominate the decision. A coffee stop is about the room and the pause; a restaurant booking makes the food and service a larger part of the experience. Both retain the relationship with [Palais Garnier]() , whose façade gives the street-facing seats an unusually theatrical outlook.\n\n#### The terrace and Napoleon III interiors\n\nThe terrace adds a third setting when available, opening the visit towards place de l' [Opéra]() . Indoors, the decorative detail gives a more enclosed sense of occasion. The choice between those spaces matters as much as the time of day, especially for visitors whose main interest is the historic interior.\n\nCafé de la Paix is best understood through that combination of building and use. It remains a working restaurant and café in a monumental part of Paris, where the architecture does not need to be separated from an ordinary table order to become part of the visit.\n\n![Café de la Paix, Paris]()\n\nRestaurants **Café de la Paix** Paris\n\nIn pictures\n\n### The full gallery.\n\n02 / The essentials\n\n### Café de la Paix: visit essentials\n\n1. 01\n\n Opéra\n2. 02\n\n Allow 1½–2 hours\n3. 03\n\n Café, restaurant and terrace services have different hours; confirm the service you book.\n\n04 / Before you go\n\n### Plan your visit\n\nFrench cooking and ornate dining rooms facing Palais Garnier.\n\n#### Menu & spending\n\nEstimated food spend: €45–90 per person.
